You don't need to add partitions, because portage isn't hard coded to use
any particular partitions. If you run out of space during emerges, you
only have to change $PORTAGE_TMPDIR to somewhere with more space
than /var. Equally, you can change $DISTDIR to reduce the amount of space
used in /usr/portage, you could even change it to a FAT32 partition of
your Windows installation has more free space than Gentoo.
